I use this for everything except driving. Organic Maps also makes it easy to add new new points to openstreetmaps :)
For driving I use Magic Earth. Not open source but their privacy policy states they don't sell your data or store PII.
Seems like Organic Maps aren't saints either.
Apparently the recent lack of updates on F-Droid is due to them including referral links for hotels and refusing to remove it or make it an opt-out feature...
Here's a relevant issue if anyone's interested: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/7218
//edit
Looking at the discussions it's even worse, the devs try to argue that F-Droid is being unfair and referral links shouldn't be "misclassified" as ads...
Yeah they advertise no ads, but then have referral links to Kayak in their app. Seems like the main devs have gone off their rockers.
While I agree that is not a great look, as long as they aren’t selling my location data and such I don’t really care. I only use it to go from a specific point A to point B, not look things up/find things.
They're also doing the same thing with Google Play - arguing that collecting user emails for osm login doesn't count as collecting data.
A lot of those people need to get a hobby. Arguing over definitions in someone else's projects doesn't count as a hobby.
I always worry with Magic Earth... What's their business plan then? How are they making money?
I tried using Magic Earth and especially the driving mode is great and sometimes it worked flawlessly but I regularly had freezes and crashes. Do you have any issues with it?
No unfortunately I haven't had crashes during my 2 years of using it, running on LineageOS with and without microg.
I'm on a Fairphone 4 with e/os, maybe it's just not quick enough
